Search in filters

Gal Fatal

Hi,

I am trying to search in filters content.

Here is the scenario : decided to delete a  specific status from main workflow.

How do I find all filters that may search for this status ?

This is critical because it can affect boards and dashboards, or any private filter.

I would like to update them and set new status for searching.

(I have 500 filters, not possible to check one by one)

I know it's possible with external tools such as  Salto for Jira but any other way, without the need for app?

Thanks,

Gal

Hi @Gal Fatal 

I made a similar update in the past that helped me. It might not be the best option for you, but I think it would be a good start.

You may write a simple script (PHP, Java, groovy or any other) to retrieve all filters and update them accordingly.

• call Jira's REST API to retrieve all filters. Since you have around 500 filters, adjusting maxResults to 1000 will be sufficient.

GET /rest/api/2/filter/search?maxResults=1000

• check the content, if there is the status in this filter that you want to delete
• if there is a match, simply update it with the new status name calling the REST below.

PUT /rest/api/2/filter/{filter_id}

I hope this helps, please let me know if you need further assistance with the code.
